It's water resistant and stands up to potential scratches. It also boasts a lot more power under the hood.
The Motorola Moto G Turbo Edition has upgraded from a Quad-core Snapdragon 410 to Octa-core Snapdragon 615 processor. The resolution is now 720p HD (1280 x 720) on a five-inch screen. However, the only way to have that power boost in your hand is to get it from Mexico because that will be the only place the smartphone will be available in, as it can be purchased for $283 on November 13.
If that wasn't enough, Motorola's new Moto G Turbo Edition smartphone also runs Android 5.1.1 Lollipop as its operating system and boasts a dual Micro SIM card slot. The device also comes equipped with 2GB of RAM and 16GB internal storage with the option to expand via its microSD card slot. Able to withstand splashes of water, the device's screen also sports a Corning Gorilla Glass 3, which protects the smartphone from scratching.
The Moto G Turbo Edition also has a rear-facing camera at 13 mega pixels and a front-facing camera at 5 mega pixels.
Bluetooth-compatible and supporting 4G LTE connectivity, Motorola's new smartphone's 2470 mAh battery can be charged quickly via the device's Turbo Power feature.
With specs like that, there's a solid chance that customers in the United States will want to get their hands on the smartphone sooner than later, so let's see how long it takes before Motorola announces U.S. release dates for the device. Rarely is a turbo boost in technology a bad thing.
